Donate Financially

We pay security deposits to place the homeless into permanent housing and that requires ongoing financial support from generous donors like you. Please consider making a donation in one of the amounts shown below so that we can continue this life-changing work.

Donate Furniture

Why We Only Accept The Most Essential Items

Because we have a very small warehouse and because our clients move into very small rentals like the one pictured below, we only accept the most essential furniture items such as beds, dressers, small kitchen tables, and couches/loveseats. We also accept a variety of small household goods.

Over 95% of Your Donated Money Goes Directly to Help Our Homeless Clients!

Over 95% of Your Donated Money Goes Directly to Help Our Homeless Clients!

We direct over 95% of your financial donations directly to services for our clients. We are able to do this because we are a 100% volunteer organization and because we continually strive to keep overhead expenses to an absolute minimum. We have no paid staff or office building. Most of our volunteers work out of their own homes. In addition to security deposits our other client related expenses include our warehouse rental and the operating costs for our box truck. Our only expenses that are not directly related to client services are mandatory insurance and general and administrative costs such as information technology, office supplies, and other operating expenses. That means most of your donated money goes directly toward helping the homeless get off the street. If you would like more details on our financial performance please feel free to view our public 990 tax filings.

We House the Homeless for Just Over $500 per Person!

We House the Homeless for Just Over $500 per Person!

It’s hard to believe that in Southern California we have placed over 500 homeless into housing at a cost of just over $500 per person. What’s even more incredible is that this cost includes the security deposit, overhead and insurance, and all the expenses associated with picking up, storing, and delivering furniture and household goods to our clients. This is primarily due to the fact that we are an all-volunteer organization combined with our passion to keep our operations lean and efficient and our overhead very low. For example, one of our earliest placements was a family of 3 where the security deposit was $1,245 or $415 per person. As shown in the table below our placement costs have increased over the years due to our addition of a warehouse and our own box truck, but we believe those costs have leveled out. For those who may question our low costs, we invite you to audit our results if you like by viewing our public 990 tax filings.

Did you know that most charities who accept and pickup your furniture donations sell it to generate revenue for their non profit? We have done extensive research on the charities in Southern California and we are the only charity we have found that will pick up your donations and then turn around and provide those same items to our formerly homeless clients free of charge — and in most cases delivering it right to their new rentals.

Our Mission

Off the Streets – Huntington Beach is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) non-profit charity (Tax ID 46-4900223) focused on housing the homeless in Orange County and Riverside County California. Since 2014 we have housed over 600 homeless individuals. We work with the ‘Economically Homeless’ who have monthly income (job, disability, public assistance, etc.) and just need a financial hand up to get a new start in life. After we determine that an applicant is eligible for our services we build a personalized budget with them to determine how much rent they can afford based on their income and all their expenses. Then, if they are able to find an appropriately priced rental that fits this budget, we pay the security deposit directly to the landlord to get the them placed. After they are in their new rental, we deliver the essential household goods and furniture they need to get a new start in life.
